The 010 distributor didn't have a higher advance curve it just had a slower (longer) retard curve. The only 900's I've seen come with an 010 distributor are the '94 convertibles and commemorative editions. SPG's cam with the same distributor as a 900T. Also the 010 distributor won't fit pre-'88 1/2 models without going to the later wiring connector so they probably weren't available until then? Three of my Saab's are Euro spec cars so they came with the tuning kit that includes the 010 distributor and I believe the Euro Ruby edition 900's also had this upgrade. You could fit the ignition diaphragm from an 010 (number on actuator arm is 2973) to your distributor if there are any around but they were never sold separately. I don't remember what an 001 is and I don't know of any others that would do what you're looking for. Lots of people here have bent the retard limit stop down 1mm which even the 010 distributor needed but the curve would still be too fast. In other words the retard side spring isn't strong enough like the 010's were. I go to an even stronger retard spring when I modify these things and machine the actuator arm for the correct extra retard rather than bending the stop. There's not a big difference in drivability or performance just from the 010 diaphragm alone, remember these came in a tuning kit that also included a Red APC upgrade and a 2.8 bar fuel pressure regulator so the combo did make a somewhat noticeable difference! You must have found the rod nut you misplaced as I never heard from you? Take care, Dave at SPG9 805-235-3951
